We have fixed the bugs encountered in the demo and made updates for performance. Your feedback is crucial for us to create a seamless gaming experience until the full version. Your support means a lot to us. The game in its early access version consists of 1 tutorial level and 5 different levels, each with its unique atmosphere and bosses. Currently, there are 2 characters available for selection, with the other 2 locked characters being activated in upcoming updates to provide them with enjoyable gaming experiences. We aim to increase the number of main characters in early access according to expectations. Some features of Steam are currently inactive due to it being the initial days of early access. Examples include Steam cloud save and Steam achievements. If we encounter no major issues during the first week, we will activate these Steam features with the next update. We would like to share a detailed roadmap with you, and we greatly value your ideas being a part of it. Therefore, please share your thoughts and suggestions with us.
